Yesterday Green Day 'fessed-up to the worst kept secret in history by e-mailing MTV to admit that yup, they are indeed garage rock band The Foxboro Hot Tubs.
"We think that the only similarity is that we are the same band," says frontman Billie Joe Armstrong. "We are four guys who love to play music and be spontaneous, [and] after a few late night jams and a few too many bottles of wine, we were inspired to record some rockin' eight-track recordings."
Armstrong also told the US television network that he has been so thrilled with the response to free The Foxboro Hot Tubs MP3s posted on www.foxborohottubs.com that they will be releasing a full-length album on April 29 in the US.
"If you want to buy it, buy it. If you already have it, buy it anyway!" he says.
